Описание: Following the Arab Spring, the use of social media has become instrumental in organising activist movements and spreading political dissent in the Middle East. New online behaviours have transformed traditional communication channels, enabling young people of all backgrounds to feel politically empowered. But now that spring has turned to winter, what are the long-term implications of internet activism in the region? Social Media in the Arab World provides a unique insight into the role of online communications as a force for change in the Gulf States. Featuring examples as diverse as neo-patrimonial politics in Saudi Arabia and the ways an online presence affects the status of women in Kuwait, the chapters examine shifts in the political, social and religious identities of citizens as a result of increased digital activism. With contributions from a variety of inter-disciplinary experts, this wide-ranging study examines the consequences of changing power dynamics brought about by popular social media. In doing so, this book offers an original perspective on the long-term implications of internet usage in the Arab world and is essential reading for students and researchers working across the region.

Описание: Stockmann argues that the consequences of introducing market forces to the media depend on the institutional design of the state. In one-party regimes, market-based media promote regime stability rather than destabilizing authoritarianism or bringing about democracy. This book links censorship with patterns of media consumption and the media`s effects on public opinion.

Описание: Media are a powerful educational force that teaches about the relationship between humans and living systems while also physiologically impacting the environment. However, although long considered a tool for promoting critical thinking and cultural citizenship, media literacy does not adequately address environmental sustainability. Drawing on original research, Antonio L?pez demonstrates how common media literacy practices reinforce belief systems at the root of unsustainable behaviors. By combining emerging literacies from social media, networked activism, sustainability education, critical media literacy, and digital ecopedagogy, the author offers a solutions-oriented critique and paradigm-shifting reappraisal of media education by advocating «ecomedia literacy.» This groundbreaking book builds on L?pez’s previous two books, Mediacology and The Media Ecosystem, by offering a cutting-edge and radical reappraisal of conventional media literacy practices. Written in accessible and jargon-free language, this book is ideal for students and educators of media literacy, media studies, and cultural studies, and will also be vital to those advocating sustainability education, environmental studies, and social justice.
Описание: The book believes that the formation of public diplomacy must be based on the background and ideological of global communication. Therefore, the impact of global political and cultural characteristics can be clearly seen on the policy behaviors of public diplomacy. Public diplomacy is also based on the unit of the nation-state, which means that public diplomacy is inseparable from all the decisions of the basic unit of the nation-state. This also means that the dispute on globalization in recent years has brought great impact on the survival and development environment of public diplomacy. The book acknowledges that public diplomacy is a two-way communication. Therefore, it is necessary for public diplomacy to answer questions about global communication from all aspects, especially about a nation’s history, culture, traditions and mode of thinking. In the meanwhile, at times of the emergency, public diplomacy is adopted as a guiding mechanism of public opinion, releasing the facts, background and influence of incidents; on the other hand, public diplomacy goes alongside with the foreign policy of a nation, answering questions about the nation’s path, methods and goals of its entry into the world system.
This book situates migrating individuals’ sense of Otherness in receiving countries front and center and systematically illustrates the configuration of Western migrants’ Other-identity during their reverse migration from the West to China, which has become a new destination of international migration due to its rise to prominence in the global labor market. Consequently, international migrants from Western countries, especially those with skills desired in China, have become this country’s main target in the global race for talent. In this context, this book attends to American migrants on the Chinese mainland, who are perceived as the prototypical waiguoren in this region, as an illuminating case, and illustrates the configuration of their Other-identity, rising from their intercultural adaptation as the privileged but marginalized Other in an asymmetric power structure. This book also attempts to reveal the condition and process of Chinese Othering of American migrants that exists but is far less openly discussed in China.
